loves TO 90 into the surf aud prance about

lieves In none OF the notions about the
unconventionality of the sea justify Inc

ties.
This gentleman, therefore, in order to
alleviate his constellation scruples re

WEDDING ANEODO res.

"Speaking of marriage fees" a
prominent clergyman said, ''recalls a
very embarrassing blunder which was
perpetrated upon an innocent brother
clergyman recently. The groom, who
was not very nervous fellow either,
carelessly poked an old plantation
negro ballad in his vest pocket with
the five dollar bill which he intended
as the marriage fee. During tine ex.
citement which followed the ceremony
the young man placed the plantation
ballad in the palm of the clergyman.
After fervent God-speed, the officiat-
ing clergyman left without inspecting
the negro song. The divine was in
dignant when he discoved the nature
OF the bit of paper which he had
slowed away In his wallet. He felt
insulted. However, friends interceded,
the young man found the five dollar
bill In his vest pocket, made hurried
explanation and succeed In allaying
the ire Of the indignant clergyman.
"When in California" the ecclesi-
astic continued, II had little expert
ence with prcsumptupus groom. The
witness, prominent physician. re.
quested me to come to hotel to marry
the couple. l complied, and after the
ceremony the groom began to tumble
a 500 gold piece about between his
thumb and index fingers. Uf course,
all present observed the coin. Finally
the young man sidled' toward the
piazza door and beckoned me to fol-
| low.
When the door shut us from the
bride and the doctor, the young Bene.
dict slipped the double eagle into his
trousers pocket and fished out twenty
shillings in silver as my fee. l said
nothing, but when came to forward
a certificate filled it out on piece Of
foolscap paper. l heard from the
groom's friend, the doctor. in due
time. He demanded an explanation Of
my effrontery. When 1 meekly in
formed him that I could not afford tc
furnish rst-class certificate when
the fee was 80 small, l received five
dollars from the groom for proper
statement of the marriage"
The clergyman then narrated how
on returning from prayer meeting with
his wife he found couple seated in q
buggy waiting before his door. They
desired to be united in the holy bonds
of wedlock, and when the ceremony
was concluded. the groom, who ap
peared rather dull, continued to lingel
and seemed greatly embarrassed. The
gleeful bride nudged him in the side
occasionally and looked hard at tht
door.
The young man only grew more ant
more uneasy. When all the topics o
conversation had been exhausted thu
clergyman's good wife proceeded tt
entertain the young couple with cak,
and refreshments. At last about on,
and half hours after the ceremony
had been concluded, ths bride crowded
the groom to the door and was seem
ipgly determined to get him out of tn,
room. just as the door was about {,
be swung open the groom plunged hi
hands into his trousers pocket, drew
forth a 50-cent silver piece, blushet
violently and hurried from the house
However" said the clergyman, :"
had more respect for this poor fellow
than did for the impositor who CAV
me $3.50 after he had given his brid
and friends to understand that was t

who compensated me with so cent
with a fine marriage certificate"

Topping and Harvesting Tobacco.

The plants should be topped when
the leaves are making their most Wig
orous growth, so that after topping
they will continue to grow, and attain
the highest degree of perfection. The
flower stalks should be pinched off be-
low the third upper leaf. 1t is not ad-
visable to defer topping till the flowers
open, else the leaves will not make as
good growth, and the plants will run
largely to suckers. These suckers
have to be frequently removed. The
proper time tor harvesting depends
upon varied circumstances. Under
average conditions, the plants are al
lowed to stand Is days after having
been topped; in dry and hot season
the leaves will ripen in 13 or IA days,
and in cold, wet weather, 16 to 18
days may be required. As the leaves
mature, they become darker in color,
and assume a mottled or marbled, ap.
pearance; they also lose the fine down
on their under side, and appear
thicker and leathery to the touch,
while previously they were soft.
The leaves should not be cut until
the dew upon them has entirely evapo'
rated. On hot days not more should
be cut than can be brought under cover
the same day, e.se there is danger Of
sunburn; and when cutting the plants,
the butts should be placed towards the
sun. After the plants have wilted
sufficiently, so that they may be
handled without breaking the leaves,
the plants are placed in piles of 20 OF
t25 each. Five or seven plants are then
put on each lsth, according to the size
of the plants, and these laths are con-
Iveyed to the shed upon platform
wagon or rack, especially made for the
purpose. In the shed the laths should
be six or seven inches apart. to admit
of free circulation between the plants

Secretary Fairchild on Our Shipping
Iuker01ta

The unfriendly manner with which
President Cleveland treats American
manufacturers and American sheep farm
ers isequalled by the curt and unsympa-
thetic language with which his Secretary
Of Observation-Disclosures about the
decline Of American shipping interests.
He prints tables to prove that while our
foreign commerce has increased from
ss1, s04 $50 in 1856 to ,49s ,502, 1913 in 1857.
the percentage carried in American vessels
has decreased, 10 the same period. from
1872 to 1880. To remedy this state of
things the only suggestion which he
makes ia that, at is difficult to understand
why it would not be well to so change our
navigation laws as to allow foreign built
ships owned by our citizens to come and
go between this and other countries while
bearing the flag Of the country Of their
owners" The lucid and striking logic
which leads the Secretary to such con-
clu-ion as this Is worthy of thorough
Free Trade Democrat. None other could
possibly evolve II from his BRAIN 1t being
proved that the American ship-building
interest IL declining from year TO year, the
obvious and only practical suggestion
would seem TO be, that some effective
measures should be adopted to encourage
American ship builders, so necessary 10
the future Of our mercantile marine and
naval power. On the contrary, Secretary
Fairchild says let IA cripple and finish ul
at one blow. the American ship building
interest, by admitting foreign built ships
on equal terms. and allowing the owner'
OF American ship yards to take care OF
themselves. Thu. it IL as clear aud strong
"a language can show it, that Cleveland
and Fairchild are in complete accord in
carrying no more for the ship yards OF
Bath, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chester
than for those on the Clyde. British Free
Trade is just as hostile to American ship
a. it IL to American factories and American
| labor.

The Governors Health.

The friends Of Gov. Bodwell, which in
clude a large proportion of the public, are
gratified at the increasing indications of
his recovery from the severe Illness, which
for several days seemed somewhat serious.
His extensive business relations, his sue
ces5ful enterprises promotive of the pros
perity of the State, the vigor and fidelity
with which he discharges his official duties,
give him hosts of friends and marked pop
ularty among the people at large. The
reasons of the public interest in his resto-
ration to health can be readily appreciated.
The Boston Travellers paper from whose
many good things we are always pleased
to quote, in a recent issue remarked
Gov, Bodwcll of Maine has proved to be
a most successful and progressive chief mag
istrate, He is thoroughgoing business man.
and very practical in all his methods, and no
State administration was ever better conduct
ed than that of Maine today He is also

the liquor traffic, and in private life as we'll

What Am I To Do2

The symptoms of Bilousness are unhappi-
ly but too well known. They differ in
different individuals to some extent.
Bilious man is seldom breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
furrcd, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of order
and DiarrhGa or Constipation may be symp-
tom or the two may alternate. There are
often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often headache
acidity or dstulence and tenderness in the nit
OF the stomach. To correct all this if not
elects cure try Green's August Flower, it
costs but tribe and thousands attest its efi-
cacy.
